Jill Long Thompson touts polling data showing Daniels in trouble

Democratic gubernatorial candidate Jill Long Thompson's campaign has released some of their polling data, pointing to results from late last month showing Gov. Mitch Daniels in a vulnerable position as the general election campaign kicks off.

The numbers:

    Benenson Strategy Group
    5/20 - 5/22
    765 Likely -- MoE +- 3.5%


    State of the state
    43% Right track
    43% Wrong track
    14% Don't know

    Gov. Daniels approval
    46% Excellent/Good
    52% Fair/Poor
    3% Don't know

    If the election were held today...
    39% Jill Long Thompson
    46% Mitch Daniels
While the initial ballot test shows Daniels with a seven point lead, the poll found that once Hoosier voters learned more about each candidate's background and policy positions, the race becomes a tie with 45 percent supporting each candidate.

"We couldn't be more pleased with our position heading into the summer," said Travis Lowe, Long Thompson's campaign manager. "These numbers reflect what we hear all across the state. Hoosiers are not happy with Mitch Daniels' leadership, and they are looking for change."

"The fact that his campaign has poured millions of dollars into television over the last few months, and these numbers are still as bad for him as they are, says a great deal about his vulnerability," added Lowe. "Hoosiers aren't buying what Mitch Daniels is selling."

More potential good news (0.00 / 0)
State Senator John Waterman is trying to make an independent run for Governor. This could totally split the wingnut vote! I hope he gets the signatures.

where (4.00 / 1)
I wonder where we could get some petitions to help him get on the ballot.........I think the GOP needs a couple of candidates that their party can vote for
